With all the noise that was cre-

were rampant-—it appeared today
that the strike was near its road’s
end. The trustees have “bowed
their necks,” they announced, and
they refuse under any circum-
stances to reconsider the ousting
of the two faculty members. H.

board.
Loaders of the strike had not
announced their intention today.
When the strike started Wednes-
day. precipitated after the hoard
refused to reinstate Davis and

that the board meeting Tuesday
night was called to consider plans
and specifications for a new vo-
